11:45 - 12:15pm - TOPIC: Dig Your Own Hole: 12 Ways to Go Wrong with Java Security This session explores 12 of the most common security traps in Java. This session doesn’t include a review of 10–year–old guidelines for writing secure applets with JDK 1.1. Instead, it looks at causes of security failures in modern Java–based applications. Approaching security with an “outside in” style, it looks at vulnerabilities from a developer’s perspective, focusing on the source code.

SPEAKER: Eric Cabetas

4:45 - 5:15pm TOPIC: BS7799/ISO17799/ISO27001 What is it... Why do you care? Organizations may be certified compliant with ISO 27001 by a number of accredited certification bodies worldwide. Certification against any of the recognized national variants of ISO 27001 (e.g. the Japanese version) by an accredited certification body is functionally equivalent to certification against ISO 27001 itself. Certification audits are usually led/conducted by ISO 27001 Lead Auditors.
